Canada\u0027 Leylah Fernandez fell just short in her quest to win her first Grand Slam title Sunday at the French Open.
The Can-American team had already fashioned more than one comeback during their brief history together..Crunch time came in the fifth game of the third set when, down 1-3, Fernandez and Townsend had four break points to get the match back on serve.But they couldn’t convert. Notably, Fernandez had a couple of open-court looks on the cross-court backhand return, with Hsieh committing towards the middle of the court early. But she netted both.
Fernandez said earlier in the week that she was learning from Townsend how to turn the page on those defeats more quickly.She stood right in front of her as they awaited the trophy ceremony, hands on her shoulders, looking directly at her — and was having none of it.Article content “What she told me at the end of the match — of course I was upset, but that lasted like two, three minutes. And then afterwards, I was just able to see the bigger picture, which I saw thanks to Taylor,” Fernandez said.Article content
